Careers at Kumu

As a bootstrapped startup rooted on Oahu, we simply can't compete with the lavish perks
and excessive salaries you'll find in Silicon Valley.

Still with us? Great! You've already passed the first test.

Instead, we offer you the chance to be paid well and work remotely
with founders who actively encourage a healthy work / life balance.

As an early hire, the more hats you can juggle the easier it is for us
to hire you. Especially if you're the self-directed go-getter type that makes smart
decisions on your own and doesn't need a ton of guidance.

We're open to working with skilled candidates who can't immediately commit to
full time work. If you're currently employed or have other committments,
don't let that hold you back from applying. If you're excited to work
with us and motivated by our manifesto then we
want to hear from you!

Kumu is a web-based data viz platform that helps people understand
complex relationships, mostly through network, systems, and stakeholder
maps. We’ve spent the past four years refining Kumu’s visualization
platform, and we’re embarking on our next phase: developing a suite of
tools and products to automate the process of creating maps (through
surveys, custom forms, and integrations with other platforms) and
making it easier to collaborate on maps remotely (through integrated
discussions, branching/forking, and version control).

We’re currently working with some of the world’s top organizations
including The Omidyar Group, Gates Foundation, Hewlett Foundation,
USAID, Stanford ChangeLabs, Democracy Fund, World Bank, Humanity United
and more.

On a day-to-day basis you’ll primarily be working with Ryan
(@rymohr)
and will be involved throughout the entire development process:
from the initial brainstorm to flush out the basic architecture all the
way to the final stages of testing and release. We like to move fast and
ship often, and we try to break work into weekly deliverables to keep
everyone’s expectations and progress in check. We do a quick hangout at
the beginning of each week to revisit everyone’s immediate priorities.

if you’re interested or know somebody we can reach out to who might be. Thanks!
